The Body of Christ is most effective when all of its parts are working at their maximum potential.

We've been stuck in a ministry world full of fear and confusion while trying to do our own version of integrating. The fact is that the "how" of ministry is determined by the "who, when, and where" of culture.The Church should be the greatest advocate for cultural and racial diversity in all of society. We certainly should not lag behind. Part of maximizing the potential of the Church is being sensitive to diverse audiences. The Church should be proactive in reaching and ministering to these audiences without sacrificing the integrity of God's word.

The Integrated Church will challenge the discussion of the church's relevance in culture. This collection of stories and solutions will assist church communicators in understanding the variety of people they are called to serve. Begin to understand the struggles, challenges, benefits, and opportunities their culture provides.
